Balgal Beach, Marlin Street

Located at the end of Marlin Street on the southern bank of Rollingstone Creek, the Balgal Beach Public Boat Ramp provides access to both the creek and the open sea.

Managed by Townsville City Council, the facility features a single-lane ramp with a 10-degree slope, a pontoon, and a 5-tonne load capacity. Parking is available for 30 vehicles with trailers, plus 20 additional spaces.

Toilets and a water tap are also on site. Fishing is a major drawcard, with opportunities from the pontoon, along Rollingstone Creek, and offshore toward the Palm Island group and sections of the Great Barrier Reef.

Visitors are advised to remain croc-aware around the creek and waterfront areas.
